A Tooth upon Our Peace

By Emily DickinsonSource: Emily Dickinson - PoetryDB (Public Domain)34 words

A Tooth upon Our Peace

The Peace cannot deface --

Then Wherefore be the Tooth?

To vitalize the Grace --

The Heaven hath a Hell --

Itself to signalize --

And every sign before the Place

Is Gilt with Sacrifice --

Best Used In
